My compost pile

We always make our own compost, we just make a pile of grass, leaves, straw, left over food scraps-but no meat or grease, and rabbit manure. We did have some chickens and we added the chicken manure, but we decided not to keep the chickens since the storm blew the chicken house away. We just pile it up and I turn the pile, (not as often as I should) but it all rots down to good compost in the end. I also have a 55 gal plastic barrel with a removable lid and I put the same thing in it and roll it around to mix it, and when the temp outside is hot, the barrel gets really hot inside and it all breaks down really fast.


Here are the compost makers at our house:


The black one I turn lose in the yard sometimes, she doesn't go very far, she likes to hang out in the SFG, she only nibbled on some lettuce in one corner of the garden other than that she just likes to hang out there.

So I got to thinking, the rabbits are on one side of the yard, and the compost pile is on the other side of the yard, and I have to scoop up the rabbit manure and move it over to the compost pile, so I came up with this idea

I have plenty of room to turn the compost pile and the rabbits just deposit the manure in the compost pile for me!

I have a new addition to my rabbits,

Meet Alf!

Looks like a stuffed dog to me!

Hi genes!

I once had a big stuffed bunny rabbit that reminds me of him.

I bring him in the house to brush his hair, he is very very friendly.

We took Alf to get a hair cut, I couldn't believe how little he is, he was just all hair!

Lol. There really was a rabbit under there
So Josh, were you old enough or have you seen the sitcom Alf? I always thought Alf was hilarious.
